Superintendent D. T. Elmore, of the Tortilitas gold and silver mining com paHy, brought in his usual quota of bull lion Saturday. Ire bar weighed 120 pounds and assayed 9S0 fine. This was the result a run of thirteen days on half time, or six and one-half days full time. Such returns cannot be beaten in the ter ritery. For the past three years, cover ing the time of Mir. Elmore's superinten- dency, the fowl Head" properties have made their return with almost unfailing regularity.
 The Jessie Benton" and By Chance" mines have been worked on asmall scale, but they have yielded amazingly. At the depth of 100 feet water was encountered and it was impossible to handle it with the means then at Mr. Elmore's disposal. He accordingly went east and backed by most enviable record, record second to none in the territory as a mining sup erintendent, he laid the difficulties before his company who at once authorized his return to work on more extended scale than before. This work is now being done. A double compartment shaft is under way, and in the fall the necessary hoisting machinery will be put up, the capacity of the mill enlarged and the camp be made to boom.
 There is no reason to believe otherwise than that the camp in the Tortilitas will be one of the best and most prosperous In the country. Below the water level the ore vein Is wider and richer than above. Everything taken out between the walls will mill without sorting, 175 ounces to the ton. This is exceptional and few, if any other mines in the Terri toryk can make like showing.
 These mines formerly known as the Owl Heads will hereafter be known as the property of the Tortilitas Gold & Sil- yer Mining Company. They are situated in the Tortilita range-the name conse- quently is mostappropriate- and although in Final county their supply basis is Tue son.-Citizen,

THE Yuma Sentinel takes Commission CT Sparks severely to task because of his ruling that land containing few stunted mesquite trees is not desert land and can not be entered under the desert land act of congress. Under the timber culture law the planting of m mesquite trees would not be regarded as even a technical full fillment of the conditions required to ob- tain title, and yet it's sparse growth upon lands that are utterly worthless without artificial irrigation is made a pretext for depriving bona fide settlers of their rights under a proper construction of the law We venture the assertion that the special agent making these recommenda- tions for cancellation, were he placed up- on one of these desert tracts he terms " timber land," ant given all the re4ui- sites for the most approved cultivation of the soil save facilities for artificial irriga- ton, he would starye to death on the products of the land he assumes to be ft- ted by nature for agriculture. No one will incur the enormous expense required in developing water for irrigation solely for such a small tract of land as the pre- emption or homestead laws permit the settler to take up. He must have enough land to compensate him for the costly re. clamation, and to hamper him because a few mesquite trees have withstood the efforts of the clements to extinguish veg citation, the aggregate amount of whicf would scarcely furnish him with his frs years fuel, is an evident injustice tha the spirit of the law does not contem plata. There are enough palpable lanC frauds existing to engage the full atten tion of the over-zealous commissioner without the necessity of stretching tech. nicalities that is tantamount to actua persecution.

 they see one, and when one of these sa- gacious people learn something about the great Gila valley at Florence, he makes haste to be among those who will profit in the coming boom. Last week we mentioned the arrival of several gen tlemen from San Diego. in search of land. They apparently found it, and the Tue son Star notes their arrival in that city to make the proper entry at the land of- fee and says of them that "they have been looking all over southern California for lands with view of establishing themselves in farming. They found land too high for the quality throughout southern California and concluded to try Arizona. They visited Pinal county and were astonished to find such vast area of rich farm lands reclaimsd-richer ten times than the California soil-and plenty of water to irrigate the same They each of them located a section and they are enthusiastic over their investments and propose to have their friends come and do likewise. Thus Pinal coun. ty is becoming understood" And we would add that when Pinal county becomes understood" there will be such a rush of people eager to share in the marvellous blessings that abound here, as the world has never seen. Every person who looks over our lands and the water thupply grows wildl3 enthusiastic over the opportunities to acquire wealth and hap pY homes, and lie loses no time ill secur- ing fOothold. The gentlemen above mentioned are no exceptions to the rule, but the fact that their opinions are quoted abroad is one of the strongest evidences thatl our good fame is spreading and that others recognize the inevitable logic of destiny.

Now that Florence is about to emerge from the passive obsourity into which it has dwelt for years, it's people have a very important and imperative duty to perform and one that is worthy of their undivided efforts. They owe it to their own advancement as well as to the pub lie interests that dissentions of every kind and nature, political and personal, shall be laid aside and their best efforts be put forth towards building up the new prosperity that beseeches their aid. It is a glorious work in which all should share with concord that is above pet ty spites and selfish ambitions. The time for bursting forth from the chrysalis stage of our existence has arrived and by harmonious effort the grandest results imaginable may be speedily achieved Bury the personal and political hatchet now, and it will grow golden fruits of prosperity and happiness that endure for ever.

HON. r. R. BRADY, one of the mem- bers of the board of territorial prison commissioners, is a citizen in whom ev- cry man who knows him can place the most implicit confidence. His integrity has never been questioned, and in his hands the affairs of the territorial prison are perfectly safe, unless he is overruled by a majority of the board. Should he be, the majority may find their seats very uncomfortable, for the people of Arizona are bound to have an honest ad- ministration of the affairs of the terri tory. A hint to the wise is sufficient. Star.
 The above broad hint that certain of the commissioners have combined with others to the disadvantage of the terri torial finances is not the first intimation that has come to our ears respecting the matter. Indeed, it is rumorsd that the only official possessing the power of rem edying the evil has shut his ears to all appeals of those honorable members of the prison administration who refuse to participate in the disreputable pecul a. tions, and 1t IS more than suggested that he is one of the bene 6ciariss of the pool We are 10th to credit such rumors, but -ik--AAey are con6rned we shall not hesi- tate to denounce the participants with vigorous sincerity. We fully endorse all the Star says of MT. Brady, and we re- affirm that his integrity is absolutely in- vulnerable. He is, unfortunately tor the public good, the minority of the board of prison commissioners, and all his best ef- forts toward securing an honest adminis- tration of it's affairs are useless without the cooperation of one or both of the oth. CT members or the support of higher au- thority. When these are withheld it is evidence sufficiently conclusive to our mind that the wrongs he seeks to remedy are not the result of unintentional error.

wantonly destroy human Gf51 land valua- ble property The government has un- lertalterl tho task of forciLly reotraining their feroeious instincts and it should commence it by removing them to place of security where such good influences as the radical humanitarians seek to throw about them may be exerted with out the sacrifice of the lives of innocent settlers. The eivilizing process IS exper- mental, and it's most hattering ultimate success will not compensate the loss of a single victim of their cruelties. The peo- pie of Arizona demand their removal from the Territory in the name of hu- manity as well as of right and justice. The latest trail of blood leaves no other proper course open, and although the casualties so far are not great the fact re- mains that their savage nature is un- changed by kindness and only awaits an opportunity to return to the bloody car nival they delight to revel iA.

THE assurance that white winged peace had permanently gathered tbe reserva- tion Apaches under it's placid protection,
 even as the hen gathereth it's brood, seems to have been conclusion too has tily drawn. In extenuation of the prom ise of perennial peace given by the mill tary authorities, We remind the people that there was once war in heaven, and we have the most ample assurance that heaven is the very fountain of peace. We cannot therefore feign surprise that these savage Indians are no better than the pioneer angels were, nor that the wholesome fear of furnished bavenets has worked the miracle of transforming savage barbarians into examples of inn maculate virtue. Reason laughs at the folly of expecting anything but evil from these human fends, and it protests against placing any faith in their promis- es or professions.
